How Rain is Produced.

Did II ever occur to the reader that there
is just as much water in the air above him
on g clear, bright day, as on a cloudy or
rainy one? Rain does not come from
somewhere else, or if it Is waited over you
by the wind from elsewhere, the water that
was over you is simply waited on to some
other place. What is said above explains
this. Water is absorbed in the air above
us, ar certain temperature and it becomes
insensible. Cool that air by wind draft
of cooler atmosphere, or by electrical or
chemical Influences, and the moment the
air becomes cooler it gives up some of the
watery particles that were insensible or in
visible al the higher temperature. These
small particles thus given out unite, and
when enough of them coalesce, obstruct
the light and show as clouds. When
enough of them unite 10 be too heavy to
float in the air, they begin to descend pair
after pair of them come together until
rain drop is formed One of these minute
rain drops is made up of millions of infin-
itely small watery particles.
Air passing over the cold tops of mount
AIMS is cooled down so that it gives up &
good deal of the concealed watery vapor,
and hence little rain falls in the region
along the lee side of such mountains. This
is why so little rain falls in Colorado, and
in other places north and south of that
State. The prevailing winds blow from the
west, and the cool tops of the Rocky
Mountains lower their temperature and
thus take out the moisture that would
otherwise fall in rain God and Iron

A Fishing Dog.

Quarermaster, pass the word forward
for I. Aye! aye, sir, and word came
forward, and in few minutes T. was aft in
| the cabin receiving his orders for the next
days fishing trip. We were lying in a nice
basin of water about one mile and halfin
circumference, into which we had houn-
dered, on the coast of Newfoundland, some
where near Placentia bay. Most all day
we had been steaIniDg up beautiful river
I'VE were on an exploring expedition on
| the coast and rivers) whose banks in some
| places we could touch on each side with a
broom-handle, when toward evening we
dropped the jack in this basin.
The next morning | had, as you may
| suppose. my wicker lunch basket packed
and rods III cases all ready, real old 10
iooters, two of them with which many a
fine salmon had been brought to shore.
Three of US landed with the dog Sailor, a
Newfoundland pup about eight months
old, which the Captain had been presented
with few weeks before. We started on
tramp up stream, TO cast down. which was
the Captains usual method The Captain
made the first cast, and as the leader
touched the water there was q strike, and
then the fun commenced. The Captain
knew how to handle his rod, and the fish
was beauty. One second he would be off
down stream, and the next would skulk
and lie heavy on the line. II was exciting
to stand with gait in hand ready to pull the
brave fellow on shore; and after twenty
five minutes the salmon was gaffed and lay
in all its dying beauty on the green bank
of that stream. This was the style of fun
nearly all the way down the stream, till we
had seven of the beauties, ranging from five
pounds to the one of thirteen pounds four
ounces first caught, which was the largest
that day.
But now comes the story. While the
Captain and his clerk were fishing, the dog
was taking lively interest in every fish as
it was landed, and would run along the
banks, watching as q cat watches a mouse
Finally the Captain was taking a rest at
the stump of a tree, when his companion
struck a small fish, which was pretty
lively; but the angler was playing it pretty
cleyerly, and / was moving up with The
gaff as the fish was almost to the bank,
when the dog made one plunge and caught
the fish by the back of the neck aid
brought him ashore and laid it at the Cap
tain's feet, and looked up as much as to say,
Z" caught that fish" At times after that
we had to hold him when a fish was
hooked as he was always ready to retrieve
After that the dog was named Sailor, the
Fisherman" | have heard that dogs are
trained to catch salmon on some Of the
rivers of Newfoundland. but that is the
only time ever saw it done.-Forcst aud

spondent says: On the banks of the Guy
andotte river, toward its head, is a large
farm owned by a gentleman named Leitz
On this farm are scattered number of
mounds or tumuli, erected ages ago by a
people long since extinct In each tumu-
lus, on a level with the surrounding coun-
try and in the center of the mound, is a
large crypt, which contains the bones Of
men and women. When discovered a
short time since the skeletons were found
in great numbers, many of them well pre-
served from the corroding tooth of time
Some OF the bones were of unusual size and
of great thickness. In the same crypts, by
the side of the skeletons, were MANY stone
hatchets, flint arrows and spear heads and
other indications of primal warlike race
Fragments OF pottery of peculiar shape
were found lying around. These tumuli
had undoubtedly been the blIrying place of
prominent members of the lost race, chiefs,
princes or savage potentates. But strange
as was the findings within the mounds a
stranger one lay within scope of
territory surrounding them. Within
the space of several acres = say
ten or twelve - in the shape
of an octagon, the plowshare had uncov-
cred evidences of fertilization. The outer
line had evidently at one time been thrown
up by these extinct people as a means of
defense from attack by other races of peo-
pie. Within these walls innumerable
pieces of bone, fragments of the skeletons
OF hundreds of people were found in all
attitudes; among and around them spear
heads, arrow-heads, stone hatchets and
other implements were scattered, covered
with fragments of conglomerate stone of
highly silicious character which has en-
abled them to- resist degradation and re-
moval by water and the leveling powers
of atmospheric agencies, otherwise the
corroding influence of time would have
removed all traces of these people Out
side in either direction lines and piles of
bones and instruments OF war were found,
showing that at one time a fierce battle for
existence had oecurred-a war of ex-
termination-in which the strange people
confined within the stone and earthern
battlements had suffered defeat, and that
men, women and children had been
mercilessly slaughtered.-N. Y. World.
